Makeup

Whenever I have a makeup declutter, I always say to myself that I’m only going to allow myself to have 3 mascaras on the go at any one time. That lasts approximately two weeks. Before long my mascara pod overflows and I struggle to choose a mascara, hence never finishing a full tube. Recently I’ve been having a spring clean of my makeup collection (I know it’s June, and I know it’s a bit late to be spring cleaning) and I’m going to share with you what I’ve decluttered recently – starting with mascaras.

I’m currently without a laptop, and I don’t think you quite understand how much of a blogging funk I am in because of this. Then again, chances are you are a blogger and understand exactly how this is hindering my blogging life. Sure, I’ve been speeding through various seasons of TV shows and smashing my high scores on various games on my iPad, but my blog life has taken a bit of a back seat. Since I’m without my monster blogging spreadsheet (should’ve backed it up on dropbox – I’ll learn one day) which has enough content ideas to blog daily until November, I’m throwing out this spontaneous post. A ‘five happy things in my life’ style post.

Recently I’ve been spending my money on more skincare products than makeup, but during the May Day bank holiday there were too many deals to pass up. I treated myself to a few high end face makeup items and it would be rude not to share them with you!

It doesn’t seem five minutes since I wrote my winter favourites, but here I am with my spring favourites. 2017 is flying! I’ve been trying out so many new products this month that I could easily just call this my May favourites, but some of these have been favourites since March so that would be a little unfair on them.

I really enjoyed summarising what I used up in April so I’m back this month with another empties. May’s edition doesn’t have quite as much makeup, but there’s still a fair amount. I’ve also been using up a few of my products deluxe sample sizes in terms of skin and body care this month.

It’s been just over 2 years since I picked up my first high end eyeshadow palette. Since then I’ve added a lot to my collection but I think I hit my high end peak when I bought the Nars Isolde Eyeshadow Duo over Christmas.
